Tho president and the q. A. R.

The letters of President Cleveland decliu-
ing to visit St. Louis, on the occasion of the
Grand Army Reunion there, have been made
public and are generally approved. After
invitations were extended, both by the Grand
Army people and the citizens of st. Louis, to
the number of 25, 600, the order for the return
of battle flags was made, then came howl
from some of the G. A. R., and denunciations
of the President. Those who thus showed
their narrow spirit and littleness were not
representatives of the organization, but their
utterances were such that the President
thought his presence at St. Louis might be
source ofdivision among the G. A. R., and he
concluded not to attend. Capt. John f.
Reilly, of the Philadelphia Brigade, at there
union at Gettysburg on the Fourth, gave ut
terance TO sentiment that fully represents the
true soldier and the good citizen. and his re-
marks are commended to those people who
were in the army in name merely, but now
are continually talking of battles, of rebels
and traitors, and who rarely ever saw con-
federate, except in captivity. Capt Reilly
declared
"That Picketts men should not apologize
or humble themselves, as some cranks or pol
iticians would have them do. There were
such cranks and politicians in Philadelphia,
but they had never faced cannon, nor could
they ever do it rs Picketts men had done.
Such men as Pickett's must not be demeaned
to level with these men. Whenever Pick
ett's men meet such cranks politicians they
must ignore them, and say that Pickett's men
and the Philadelphia Brigade have shaken
hands over the stone wall at the bloody angle
on Gettysburg's field, and that settles every
thing. There is no room in the United States
for such politicians. Applause.

Treatment of Lockjaw.
Chicago Physicians Experimenting Operating
on the Nerves.


CHICAGO, July 6.-John Kelleher ran
rusty nail into his foot about an inch back
from his big toe on May 20. He washed the
wound out with cold water, tied a piece of
cotton over it, and in a day the foot was COM
paratively well again, the nail having just
punctured the skin. Yesterday morning he
complained of q sore throat. When the ply
stefan whom he had called upon to consult
asked him to open his mouth it was discovered
that his jaws refused to perform their func-
tons. Another doctor was called in and at
once pronounced the malady typical form
of traumatic lockiaw. The man was removed
to his home, An hour later the tetanic grin
set in, and it became apparent that extreme
measures had to be resorted to. A consulta-
ton resulted in the operation below described.
Mr.. Kelleher was put under the influence Of
either. The sponge had barely been applied
to the sufferers nostrils when the initial te-
tanic convulsion displayed itself: He jumped
from the operating slab and made o mad rush
for the Window. His jaws were set, his eyes
protruded, and he fought with a frenzied
strength, which the combined efforts of four
men could hardly overcome Again he was

until the orural nerve was exposed. Here
the sound was again used, and the nerve drawn

for lockjaw is new one, and was first sue

colleges about six months ago, and the case

Members of the Democratic executive com.
mittee and other prominent Montgomery
county Democrats met at Rockville on Tues
day, and at a conference discussed their State
convention primary, which is to be held on
July %. The Democrats of Montgomery vote
for gubernatorial candidates direct, by plac-
ing their names at the head of the delegate
tickets voted at the primary. The result of
the conference vas thai decision vas reached
to place the name of Col, L. Victor Raugh,
man at the head of their ticket as candidate
for the gnhernatoFiai nomination. It is I'M
derstood that the friends Of Hon. Charles b,
Roberts will put up the name of that gentle.
man for Governor on their ticket, and the
primary contest in Montgomery will be be-
tween Colonel Baughman and Mr.. Roberts.
Allegany and Garrett counties have instructed
their State convention delegates to vote for
Col. Baughman. In the gubernatorial con-
test in Montgomery county four years ago
Hons. Robt. N, McLane and VIM. T.. Hamil-
ton were the contestants, and Mr.. McLane

A Child Disappears.

A correspondent writes us that last Friday
afternoon little child of Mr. William ella.
baugh, aged about IS months, mysteriously
disappeared from its fathers home in Hamp.
ton Valley, northwest Of Emnitsbnrg. and
up to last Monday had not been found Since
the disappearance of the child diligent search
has heen made by crowds of people, but all in
vain. 1t appears Mr.. Clabaugh went to a
neishbors house close by. His two children,
a girl of four and the missing child, wanted
to go with him and followed him for some
distance, He called back to the little girl to
return TO the house with the other child.
Surprising the children had done as requested
be went on his errand, and on his return was
met by the little girl. As he approached his
house his wife made inquiries after the other
child, but the father had not seen it, and it
was nowhere to be found. Nor have any
traces Of it yet been discovered, if reports be
true. The supposition by some persons is
that the child was carried away by an unknown
party.-Frederick Union.

Editor Dorsheimer, ofthe New York Star,
has succeeded in raking and scraping together
So, 500 of the Sl25, 900 he set out to raise for
the completion of the Grant monument. 1t
is slow business, and the enterprise OF very
doubtful accomplishment. The persistent
hammering upon the subject. in the columns
of the Star, must be very grating 10 the finer
sensibilities of Gen. Grants family and Of all
his true friends. If there was spontaneous
offering of the sum asked for, or any appre-
ciative approximation to it, the case would be
different. But the editor himself cannot have
failed to perceive, by this time, that his self
imposed task is not likely to be accomplished.
Pulitzer, of the World, succeeded in ham
mering out of the pubie enough to complete
the pedestal of the Barholdi Statue, but that
achievement, only after the most logged per-
sistence, exhausted the patience OF the public
with that mode of monument building, and
nothing of the kind can now be repeated,
without herculean effort.

Fourth of July Casualties.

In addition to the Fourth of July casualties
reported in Chicago on Tuesday morning
several very severe accidents, il is now known
that seven other persons-three SMALL boys
and four young men-receiyed fatal injuries
from the explosion of small canpons and ac-
cidental firing of reValyers, Resides these
there is an endless list of minor casualties, a
great many small boys suffering from wounds
inflicted by the toy pistol. These, physicians
say, are liable, sooner or later, to prove
fatal, The firemen were kept busy, there
having been forty alarms at fire between nine
O'Clock in the morning and midnight. FOR
tunately, none of these fires caused heavy
loss. At Columbus, Ohio, on the Fourth,
three boys improvsed o cannon out of piece
of gas pipe, loaded it with powder, and fired
it off, The weapon tore from its fastenings
and struck Elisha Meaeham, delegate in the
Knights of Labor parade, tearing through his
mouth, and causing almost instant death. At
Watertown, New York, fireworks were ignited
by sparks from rocket, and four men were
severely injured, one of them having a hip
and an arm broken. Victor Costello, aged Is
years, was fatally injured By The premature

Allegany, Garrett and Charles county Dem
oerats have held conventions since our last
issue. The firsttwo chose delegates favorable
to Col. l.. Victor Baughman for Governor.
The Charles county delegation are first for
Hon. Richard Edelin,, but he declines to
allow the use of his name. Should he adhere
to the decision, the delegation will vote for
Hon. Barnes Compton, or any man the state
managers suggest. Primary elections will be
held in several counties to-day, others will be
held next Saturday, and in two or three
counties on the 23rd. In Baltimore the pri-
marics will be held on the 10th. AT present
the gubernatorial contest is surrounded in
doubt, and it is quite probable that doubt will
exist until the convention meets. IL is ap-
parent that no candidate will have majority
--fifty-nine-on the first ballot, though Attor-
ney- General Roberts will be the leading one.
